petiti fours--lyn*
(1 rating)
I was quite the baker as a teen! Any time a shower (bridal or baby) or a fancy party planned, I was the person called. Cream Puffs, savory or sweet and then Petits Fours emerged! I had been decorating cakes for awhile since our Home Ec class decorated a wedding cake (we made it out of various sized cardboard boxes that we frosted with whipped "Drift soap flakes" ((the boys would sneak in and swipe a bite of our cake)). Then we made our white royal icing for making our roses, etc.) :-) Ahh such memories!... P.S. the boys left our food alone after a mouthful of soap! LOL
